Donald Trump is now a convicted felon. Beyond the conviction in his New York hush-money trial last week, he still faces three other criminal trials. The punishments in those cases for the Jan. 6 coup plot and stealing classified documents are far more serious. Trump potentially faces hundreds of years in prison if convicted for these crimes.
Donald Trump’s historic felony conviction is part of a much larger unprecedented moment in American history where the country is facing an assault on its democracy from within by the Trumpists and other neofascists (which itself is part of a larger global plot against pluralistic democracy).
